Former Blackburn Rovers striker Chris Sutton has slammed Leeds United's decision to appoint Sam Allardyce as manager until the end of the season. The Whites' gamble didn't pay off with them relegated to the Championship having conceded the most goals in the Premier League.
Sutton has been vocal about the sacking of Jesse Marsch throughout the tail end of the season, claiming the American deserved more time after guiding them to safety last season. The BBC pundit also believes his successor, Javi Gracia, should have been given more time claiming the Whites panicked after heavy defeats to Liverpool and Crystal Palace.
He told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I felt a bit sorry for Jesse Marsch, I really did do. He kept them up last season on the final day. They didn't really kick on, some of the transfers were really quite weird just signing lots of tricky wingers.
